The heavy rain lasted for several days, and it was time to be tired, and the Jingshi had a short break.

The sunrise, the sparse skylight, falling on the body, a little warm.

Li Xiao stretched his waist, stood at the main gate of Wan'an Temple, looked at the street in front of the temple, and pursed his lips.

Today's rain stopped, Wan'an Temple should have a lot of pilgrims to come, but unfortunately, the continuous heavy rain blocked the Taiping Street in front of the temple, and the rain accumulated in a few days overflowed, almost rushing to the threshold.

There was an accident on the front street of the imperial city, so how to do it, not early in the morning, the Ministry of Industry gathered people, called the craftsmen in the city, and began to be busy.

"Young Master, when will we be able to go home?" The little girl Chu Chu came from inside and looked at Taiping Street with a sad face.

Li Xiao shook his head, he didn't know when the street in front of him would be repaired, and he didn't mean to be sunny on this day, so he estimated that it would continue later.

You can't go through the back door, the back street of Wan'an Temple has been uninhabited for several years and has long been deserted. Li Xiao has been to see it, the ground is full of debris and stones, it is okay to walk, and the carriage is a little difficult to move.

"Childe, why don't you rest in the backyard today." Pu Jing smiled and walked slowly.

Gently shaking off the rain dripping from the eaves, Li Xiao arched his hand and saluted: "Isn't the abbot resting?" ”

"Childe is really interesting to say." Pu Jing smiled, walked to the door, looked at the busy workers in front of the street, and said, "Amitabha." ”

When Chu Chu saw it, he also saluted, his movements were unfamiliar, but he looked extremely cute.

Deftly dodging a drop of water, Li Xiao looked out of the door and asked, "Does the abbot know when this Taiping Street will be repaired?" ”

"Childe, is this in a hurry to leave?" Pu Jing opened her eyes, frowned, and said: "It stands to reason that there has not been a lot of rainy season in Jingshi in recent years, and there has never been any problem with Taiping Street, but in a situation like today, it should be the first time that Lao Gu has encountered in Beijing. ”

Li Xiao didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Taiping Street has a long history, it is in disrepair, and it is normal to have an accident after a heavy rain, but why does he always think that someone does not want him to leave Jingshi, and does it on purpose.

This rain has slowed down his progress, and staying in Beijing for one more day will add variables. Although they have been staying in Wan'an Temple these days, they can feel that there are many more pairs of eyes around them, if it weren't for the imperial city not far away, it is estimated that they would have already started.

But hiding in Wan'an Temple all the time is not a long-term solution after all.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a person shouting Li Xiao's name. When I came back to my senses, it was Chen Ziye.

I saw Chen Dacai standing at the corner of the street, with a carriage parked behind him, waving vigorously to Li Xiao, and kept shouting "Lao Li" in his mouth.

"It seems that the rainy season will continue for a while, if Childe is okay today, it is better to have fun in the city." Pu Jing said as she walked back.

Looking at Pu Jing's back, Li Xiao sighed.

Indeed, Pu Jing's words make sense, it's not a matter to hide in Wan'an Temple all the time, and I've been staying in the past two days and I'm getting moldy, going out to play, there's nothing to be afraid of, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, are you still afraid that they will make a mistake?

Thinking about it, he stepped on the stone slab temporarily placed by the craftsmen and jumped to the street entrance in small steps.

When the little girl saw Li Xiao walking away, she naturally followed closely, but her ability was not good, and when she arrived at the street, the light-colored skirt had been stained with a lot of sewage and dirty, which made the little girl feel distressed for a while.

"It's okay, I'll buy you a new one later." Li Xiao touched Chu Chu's little head and said with a smile.

"Brother Li is really good to Chu Chu." Chen Ziye stepped forward and said with a smile: "How can the master's family buy clothes for the maid, the huge Haoguo, and only Lao Li has done this." ”

Hearing Chen Ziye's words, Chu Chu lowered his head shyly, rubbed his little hands tightly, and kept peeking at Li Xiao with his eyes.

"Okay Lao Chen, don't tease Chu Chu." Li Xiao said: "Say, what's the matter with me." ”

Chen Ziye shook the folding fan and pretended to be calm: "What, I can't come to you to play if I'm fine?" ”

"Princess Changle's illness has been cured, presumably Lao Li, you are also going to leave Beijing, we are also good friends for a few days, get together, when it is a farewell, I don't know when the next time we meet."

After that, Chen Ziye sighed, looking reluctant.

Although he and Li Xiao have only known each other for more than ten days, the two can be said to have a similar smell and sympathy for each other. Li Xiao wants to leave, he is naturally reluctant, eat a meal, listen to a tune, go to the kiln, when it is a farewell, the Beijing master is windy, maybe he will be blown away that day.

Li Xiao patted Chen Ziye's shoulder and asked, "What did Lao Lu say?" ”

To tell the truth, he is not reluctant, if Jingshi really has nothing to do with him, Li Xiao is also willing to stay for a while, in just a few days, he has only walked through a few places and met a few people. That dream has not yet been resolved, and if possible, I want to stay a few more days.

It's a pity that it's not that simple.

"I've been to Lu Mansion a long time ago, and Brother Lu has already booked a seat at this time, so I'm waiting for you to go." Chen Ziye put away the folding fan and smiled evilly.

Speaking of Lu Yunlu, this guy is a hero in the sex, and when he first mentioned eating, he was full of hesitation, and even Chen Ziye said that he had a treat, but he was embarrassed and spitting. But when it comes to visiting the kiln, good fellow, he immediately agrees without a pause.

It must be that the house has been stuffy in the past few days, and my heart is itching.

"Lao Li, it's not too early, let's go."

Li Xiao nodded, and then led Chu Chu to the carriage.

When Chen Ziye saw it, he was busy holding Li Xiao, and leaned into Li Xiao's ear with an embarrassed face: "Lao Li, let's not go to Penglai Xianju this time, but ......"

Saying that, Chen Ziye pulled Li Xiao aside, blocked Chu Chu, and then said: "Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to take a maid to that kind of place, besides, there is no shortage of maids, right?" ”

"Sss Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Ziye, then turned his head to look at Chu Chu and took a breath of cold air.

I thought it was a gathering of Penglai Xianju today, but it turned out to be a good place to play. Going to that kind of place, it's no wonder that Chen Ziye doesn't want him to take Chu Chu with him, although he is a maid, he is also a female dependent, so he takes him to visit the Qinglou and listen to small songs, which is not like words.

But it's true that you can't take the little girl there, who knows if when she returns home in the future, will this child tell Chu Xin'er that at that time, he must not be sentenced to cane.

"That, your young master has something to do today, I can't take you there, you just stay in the temple, how about it." Chen Ziye coughed twice and said with a dodgy look.

For Li Xiao, the maid who came halfway, Chen Ziye didn't expect the two to be so "inseparable", this is nothing, just listen to a little song, so there is no need.

Chu Chu ignored Chen Ziye, and just looked at Li Xiao with his pair of Kazlan eyes open.

"What Brother Chen said is that Chu Chu, you will stay in the temple today." Li Xiao walked over with an embarrassed face, touched Chu Chu's head, and said, "I'm back, the young master will bring you something delicious." ”

"Hmm." Chu Chu lowered his head, looking pitiful.

Although it has been so long, the little girl is still easily injured, and more than ten years of slave life have made her insecure, no wonder Li Xiao said that she would react like this if she didn't take her away.

It's the fear of losing.

"Let's go." After touching Chu Chu's head, Li Xiao followed Chen Ziye into the carriage.

In the carriage, looking at Chu Chu who was standing still, Li Xiao suddenly felt a burst of guilt.

In fact, Li Xiao couldn't take her on this trip, because he didn't know what danger was ahead, and one person might be able to deal with it, but if there was one more, it would be difficult to say.

Staying in Wan'an Temple is the best protection for Chu Chu, the temple is close to the imperial city, as soon as there is a disturbance, the guards in the palace will immediately notice it, and he is not there, it is estimated that those people will not be interested in a weak slave.

"Lao Li, don't think about it too much, just go back and bring some good things to the little girl." Chen Ziye patted Li Xiao's shoulder and sighed.

As a person who has been to Chu Mansion, he still has a little understanding of the family style of Chu Mansion and Chu Xin'er. Li Xiao's worry should be that he is afraid of being told in the future. But there's no need to worry, the little girl is just a maid, how dare she disobey the master's family.

Li Xiao smiled and didn't speak, just leaned to the side and watched the people coming and going on the street.

In the rainy season, it is rare to have a sunny day, but there are not many people on the streets, but there are many horse-drawn carriages driving from side to side. I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going.

"Is this going to Chunguang Garden?" Li Xiao asked. I've been listening to Lu Yunlu and Chen Ziye mention Chunguang Garden, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to find out.

After hearing this, Chen Ziye sighed and said, "I originally wanted to go to Chunguangyuan, but unfortunately someone died in Chunguangyuan last night, and the government blocked the way to and fro, so I couldn't go." ”

"Dead?" Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Chen Ziye with a face full of regret.

"Yes, I heard that the dead were from other places." Chen Ziye raised his head and sighed: "It seems to be a doctor." ”

"It has nothing to do with us, it's just that we can't go to Chunguangyuan, but fortunately, my brother still has a good place, in the east of the city."

As he spoke, the carriage came to a "creak" stop.

The probe looked, and it was there.

Stepping on the step stool brought by the coachman, Li Xiao walked down slowly, only to see that the building in front of him was extremely gorgeous, without the decadence after the heavy rain, but there was a breath called "hormones".

The girl who greeted the guests outside the door wore heavy makeup and acted charmingly.

landed on the ground, shook the sewage on his boots, and was pulled in by Chen Ziye.

As soon as she entered the door, a middle-aged woman walked towards her, pulling Chen Ziye and walking inside.

"Oh, Gongzi Chen, why did Yaxing come to my Xiangmanlou to play today." The old bustard twisted his hips and reached out to pinch Chen Ziye, looking extremely enchanting.

"Of course this is the girl who misses Mother Wang." Chen Ziye turned his head to look at Li Xiao and said with a smile.

Immediately, Wang's mother also looked over, and when she saw it, she was shocked, this son was extremely good-looking, white and clean, which made people very happy.

"Yo, this boy is really handsome."

"This is the son of Suzhou who wrote a residual poem." Chen Ziye smiled, and then said, "Is Gongzi Lu here?" ”

"It's been there, it's been there for a long time. I've been waiting in the upstairs private room for a long time. As she spoke, Mother Wang hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Li Xiao up and down. It can be seen that Li Xiao is uncomfortable.

"Mother Wang, don't look at it." Chen Ziye didn't let Wang's mother see much, so he stepped forward and pulled Li Xiao upstairs.

"I'm in a hurry." Mother Wang looked at the hurried backs of the two, covered her mouth and smiled.

After a while, Wang's mother shook her head, and was about to leave, but was bumped by someone who walked in behind her.

Covering his hands and looking, he saw that the man lowered his head, made a cloth coat, and wore a hat, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was enviable.
